    Hi

    I have a 200GB and 320 GB sata drives in my rig. I was wondering if it would be possible to partition the 320 drive into 2 partitions one 200GB and one 120 GB and then use the 200 GB partition to run in Raid0 with the second drive essentially giving me a 400GB Drive and a 120 GB one.

    John.

    This is something you DO NOT WANT to do even if it was possible......

    If you RAID0 two disks of different sizes together it will see both drives as the smaller size and you won't be able to use the left over memory of the larger drive.
    I'm 99.997% sure of that. :)
